Calling All Green Thumbs!!

Back to profiting from your passions today brings us to those who love to garden! Eating organic or fresh produce has always been a battle for me. Going to the grocery store to purchase fresh, organic produce can be ubber expensive!!

There is a little old lady living down the street from Mrs. Dell (Troy's mom) that has a huge garden. She spends hours watering and weeding and picking. I've considered stopping her several times to ask her if I can just buy produce from her rather than the grocery. My shyness has kept me from asking....I know I could drag my butt to the farmer's market at the but crack of dawn on a Saturday, but somehow I never make it. Our plans to travel keep me from growing our own or participating in an Earth Share.

So, if i'll just get to the point...if gardening is something you enjoy, consider making profits by running a neighborhood garden. I know many people who would love to pay for fresh produce delivered to their doorsteps each week. Setting up a produce stand near your home or participating in farmer's markets could also be a very viable option for you. With fresh food being harder and harder to find and family farms disappearing, I think the search for fresh, organic foods will be more and more popular. Among these, other examples include landscape design, gardening instructor or consultant, florist, office-plant caretaker and many, many more options remain.

Good luck green thumbs!! We hope you'll keep growing so we can keep eating well!!

LIVE BY DESIGN!!
